🇺🇸🇵🇸 Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Friday called on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Republican Sen. Jim Risch, to hold a hearing into what he called a "coverup" at the US Embassy in Israel. The call follows a New York Times investigation this week.

Citing US officials, the Times reported that David Milstein, a top aide to Ambassador Mike Huckabee, blocked an embassy report on the killings of nine Palestinian Americans in the occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers and security forces over four years. The report, completed in March, found that Israeli investigations had stalled, some cases had been closed and no one had been charged. Milstein reportedly argued that the embassy should say Israel was handling the cases properly. He pushed to send a letter to Van Hollen instead of the full report after Van Hollen had led 30 members of Congress in demanding answers from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Times also reported that Milstein rewrote or delayed cables on settler violence and settlement expansion.
